5 Star Review - Compassionate & Outstanding
Joanne has been nothing but supportive in assisting with the sale of my parents property as they moved to a retirement village. Joanne conducted the sale process around their needs and made sure they were always at the forefront of mind while working towards the sale of the property in a tight time-frame. A successful sale was achieved.

5 Stars - Thanks Joanne John!
Joanne simplified the stressful process of selling our house. Joanne is professional and works hard throughout the sale process which was very much appreciated by us. Joanne is thoughtful and honest which was helpful to us trying to understand the market. A job very well done. Thank you Joanne!

Excellent
Found Joanne very helpful and professional. Her work regarding the sale and purchase of the Orewa property was very polite and helpful, I would recommend Joanne very highly. Thank you Jo.

Joanne John - Master Salesperson
My wife Judy chose Joanne as she was immediately struck by the professional attitude she showed. From the word go, Joanne did everything possible to gain a sale for both my brother and I. The issues of selling an old "tired" house became very obvious once the buyers came around, but Jo handled it all in her own astute manner. Her presentation and communication was excellent.

A Professional Real Estate Salesperson
Joanne John demonstrated exceptional responsiveness and dedication throughout the entire property sale process. As my real estate salesperson, she made herself readily available to answer any questions or concerns I had, no matter the day or time. Her commitment to providing timely and thorough communication instilled a sense of confidence and trust in her abilities. Mrs John's unwavering devotion to her clients was evident in her willingness to go above and beyond, whether it was promptly returning phone calls and emails, accommodating my schedule for property viewings, or patiently guiding me through the intricacies of the procedure. Her steadfast dedication and reliable responsiveness truly sets her apart as an outstanding real estate professional who genuinely cares about her clients' needs and goals.

Amazing Salesperson
I absolutely enjoyed working with Joanne on my sale. She was upfront with expectations, sound advice and a pleasure to deal with.

Words cannot explain what an awesome salesperson Jo is. Jo is more than a salesperson. She is honest, reliable, always smiling, nothing is too much trouble, if there's a job to do she is successful in all she does. We loved having Jo as our salesperson and now our friend. We would recommend her to anyone. She is a credit and an asset to Barfoot & Thompson.

Great Service from Joanne
Joanne was recommended to us. We found her to be very professional, quick to respond to questions and queries from us. Always positive. The reports that come back from Barfoot & Thompson are very clear and thorough. Thank you Joanne.

Great to deal with, clear, timely communication
I recently had the pleasure of working with Joanne John from Barfoot & Thomson to purchase a new home in Orewa. Joanne was incredibly professional throughout the entire process. Her communication was always clear and timely, which made me feel well-informed and confident in my decisions. She set realistic expectations and guided me through each step with patience and expertise. Thanks to Joanne's dedication and support, I was able to find and buy the perfect house. I highly recommend Joanne to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!

Friendly helpful and very efficient. Thanks Jo!
Jo was very friendly and were very happy for her to manage all our needs as we were overseas while the apartment was on the market. Jo delivered on all aspects of the marketing and therefore a sale was reached by the time we returned home. Thanks.

Sales Success - 5 Star Testimonial
We were introduced to Joanne as the top salesperson for Barfoot & Thompson Ōrewa and the salesperson who was successful in selling the property next door to us earlier in the year. Joanne set the plan, organised the staging and everything else - we didn’t do anything - she did it all. Thanks Joanne, professional, friendly and successful.

Great Result
Joanne was recommended to me by a friend when looking to sell my house in Orewa. I found Joanne very competent and set realistic price expectations when listing. She has a great local market knowledge, built over many years. Joanne provided proactive feedback and always kept me up to date with viewing activity and feedback. I was very impressed with the breadth and quality of the marketing, the photos and video were of a high quality. We went to market with a 'Deadline Sale' which resulted in multiple offers. Great result, very happy. Would recommend to all my friends.

Simply the Best!
From start to finish Jo was amazing. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to sell their home. Jo is dedicated, knowledgeable, honest and ever so friendly. Thank you so much for your efforts Jo.

Our house sale went through at the very 11th hour due to Joanne's excellent NEGOTIATING skills. Trying to sell over the Christmas break is not to be recommended. Joanne was easy to communicate with and kept in touch all the way with bits of advice. Would recommend her to anyone wanting their property sold. Well done.

It is a pleasure to write a review of Joanne’s success in selling my aunt's house. Joanne was very helpful in dealing with an older person, giving advice and helping explain the details of the procedure of the sale. Very professional in all aspects of the process of selling and keeping my aunt and I up-to-date with potential buyers. My aunt achieved a good price and has happily moved to her new abode. I thoroughly recommend Joanne and wish her well in her profession.

A great experience. Thanks Joanne.
Joanne went out of her way to facilitate the purchase of our new property. Nothing was a problem for her. Joanne got back to us with any queries we had and we couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent. Thanks Joanne, you epitomise what a great agent should be.

A Great Real Estate Experience
When we recently decided to sell our apartment, we went to a local award-winning agent, Joanne John at Barfoot & Thompson Orewa. Working with Jo to market our home was, contrary to past experiences, an easy and stress-free process. Jo blends the right balance of professionalism, friendliness and helpfulness. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Jo - she answered all our queries in a calm and supportive way and then guided us through the negotiating phase to achieve a sale in three weeks. Beyond helping us to achieve a successful sale, she also gave us great advice in our endeavours to purchase a new home. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Jo again and would recommend her to anyone wanting a similar great experience. Thanks so much Jo.

Amazing experience. Joanne was amazing and her communication was perfect. I’d recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a real estate agent. Honest, empathetic and available to chat whenever we needed her.

Jo was such a great support to me during the sale process. Fabulous sale in a tough market. There was never a moment I felt unsupported or without knowledgeable guidance. Nothing was a problem and she went well over and above her requirements as an agent. Jo has an amazing eye for making things look fabulous, even helping with setting up my new house. Would absolutely recommend Jo to anyone requiring a high spec salesperson.

Awesome Agent

Joanne was such massive help to us with selling and buying houses, as we didn't know the processes. We couldn't have asked for a better agent. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you so much Joanne.

Easiest house purchase I have ever done! 5 Stars

Jo made this process so easy I was almost frightened it was ‘too easy’ … but every question I had was answered – quickly and in writing. When I started looking I had no idea that it would happen so fast. All the information on the home I purchased was provided as soon as I expressed interest and Jo was quick to respond to questions that came from my solicitor with all the correct information. She was extremely knowledgeable and also did the research for questions if she wasn’t sure. I felt safe and secure and trusted Jo the entire way through.

I would recommend Jo to anyone wanting to buy or sell their home. She was amazing! 15 out of 10!

Outstanding 5 Stars

Thank you so much Joanne, for your market knowledge, professionalism and determination to get my father's property sold. I truly believe the result that you achieved was great considering the market conditions. I'm also amazed how quickly you were able to resolve the questions my parents had. Well done!

An Exemplary Salesperson
Jo was acting on behalf of estranged siblings, one in New Zealand (keen to sell), and myself overseas, (ambivalent if sold or not); each with an equal half share in a property. It was therefore a veritable minefield and a long, difficult process in an as-predicted, tanking market. Having taken Jo into my confidence regarding the vendors backgrounds, she kept confidences, was very empathetic and understanding. Jo was totally professional, and kept me up-to-date with any market movement, as soon as she had knowledge of the same. Jo was able to navigate the listing to a successful sale, and my only regret is that we did not get a chance to meet in person.

An amazing and enjoyable experience
Jo is the ideal person to have working for you. She is understanding, flexible and no request is too much. She took the time to understand what type of house we were after, she then had our best interests at heart and took the time and effort to ensure that we had a successful outcome. As a client we felt valued. If we asked a question her responses were prompt and honest. We would thoroughly recommend Jo to anyone.

"I am of an age that I was looking for a more relaxed life. One where there is not too much work to do, and the ability to lock and leave when I want to. This meant looking at types of properties that I had not yet experienced - apartment complexes.

When I saw the property that I finally settled on, I was given access to a full and comprehensive set of documents that allowed me to do thorough research and due diligence. As well as that, Joanne had a good knowledge of the complex that I have bought into as well as the area. Although Joanne was acting for the vendor, she was great in finding answers for any of my concerns and making things as easy as possible.

I found dealing with Joanne a real pleasure. She allowed me to go through the property without the pressure of an agent on my shoulder, yet she was nearby to answer questions or concerns. Joanne also took my calls when I might have remembered a silly little question.

As I write this, Joanne is arranging a meeting with the absent owner, which, for me, is an important thing. Overall, Joanne has made this a great journey."

"We recently had the pleasure of engaging Jo John from Barfoot & Thompson Orewa, to sell our beachfront apartment in Orewa.

Right from the beginning, we were very impressed with Jo’s professionalism in all respects. She was very thorough and paid attention to every detail. She recommended we go to Auction, and while the property did not sell under the hammer, Jo negotiated a sale for us shortly after, at a price we were very happy to have."

Jo is an amazing person and always for goes the extra mile for your clients, she has sold two houses for us and we have also purchased two from her. We would not us anyone else and we have also got some of our clients to contact her and she has also helped them. Great lady, and a real asset to your company.

I/we seldom use the word exceptional. However, the service we have had from Jo has been just that. Our move has been done very much i'm a hurry, and our buyer has been very difficult. Jo has been instrumental in making the whole fiasco bearable, long after her work was complete, and a lesser agent would have washed her hands of it and been on her way with new clients.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for your excellent service in selling our home. We appreciated your friendliness and the conscientious and professional way you operated. Thank you very much!

Jo John was our agent at the Orewa office and she was absolutely exceptional in our experience in an emotional sale with my elderly Mum with the sale of her property. Over the years with dealing with people she would be one of the few where we could not speak so highly of with her professionalism, genuinely, honesty and being so wonderful with my Mum. She is one of the rear people and a wonderful person who any employer would have the pleasure to treasure.

"Upon meeting Joanne we were immediately impressed with her promises and statements of the service and dedication that she was going to provide us. We had a challenging house to sell and we really felt confident that we had the right people marketing this for us. It was with great satisfaction and delight that Jo fulfilled all of her promises and her commitment to us was outstanding, with of course the end result being our house sold for the right price in a timely and seamless manner."

"I am pleased to be able to say that my wife and I were very satisfied with the service provided by Joanne John when she sold our house in Orewa. She lost no time in getting the property on the market and started "Open Homes" right away. We had no regrets about giving her an exclusive agency for 3 months as she was totally committed and very professional about the way she went about finding a buyer within two months of the listing date. She advised us fully about the state of the market and when she obtained a good offer there was no undue pressure and left the decision completely to us. We have no hesitation in recommending Joanne John as a very capable Real Estate Agent."

"We have had considerable dealings with Joanne John over the sale of three properties and the purchase of another. She has handled all these with a particularly professional approach. The value of the properties involved was from $300,000 to in excess of $1,000,000. I was very impressed with the marketing and reporting systems that she used and the way in which the whole procedure was conducted. Joanne is very friendly, open and easy to communicate with, she also delivers on everything she promises. She has an excellent work ethic and puts an exceptional amount of effort into the work she does. We will definitely be using Joanne in any future property sales or purchases that we do. I would not hesitate to recommend her to either sell your home or find you a new home or investment"

"We recently marketed our sold our property through Barfoot and Thompson. The Agent was Joanne John. Her professionalism and hard work sold our place in four and a half weeks. We would fully recommend Joanne to any client whether buying or selling real estate.

"Once again, Jo has gone above and beyond the call of duty for us. From day one, Jo is so reliable, thorough and diligent with all aspects in selling our properties, including the results we want to achieve.
We believe this is what makes Jo stand out from other agents and we will definitely use her services again in the future.
We were hesitant to use Barfoot in Orewa as we were unsure of the impact on the market Barfoot had. However, when we heard that Jo had gone to Barfoot we decided to give this a try. Barfoot has now moved up to being our preferred agency when it comes to selling property because of Jo".

"I have found Joanne John a very pleasant and helpful agent. She will always do her best to achieve the clients' expectations. Always available to help, advise and assist wherever she can.
She is an exceptional agent and i would like to take this opportunity to thank her for all the hours she put into help my sale. She was always most helpful and ready to help no matter what the time and even if it did not relate to her job she tried to help.
This lady is an asset to her company and I wish her the very best in the bright future she has ahead of her. If I had to rate her in an exam I would pass her with distinctions.
Thank you Joanne John and Barfoot and Thompson for achieving the sale of my property.
WELL DONE!!!! She is just one in a million."
